<<HOST>>THE TECH INDUSTRY IN VIETNAM IS BOOMING/ BUT WOMEN ARE STILL UNDERREPRESENTED IN LEADERSHIP ROLES AND FACE SIGNIFICANT BARRIERS IN ACCESSING FUNDING AND OPPORTUNITIES// 

<<HOST>>THIS REPORT WILL SPOTLIGHT THE INCREMENT IN WOMEN’S POSITIONS IN TECH STARTUPS AND BUSINESSES/  AS WELL AS SHOWCASE VIETNAM’S EFFORT TO HELP FEMALE LEADERS SCORE MORE ACHIEVEMENTS WITH THEIR ENTREPRENEURSHIP//

<<ROLL PACKAGE >>

<<ROLL VO >>

IN RECENT YEARS/ VIETNAM HAS BEEN NOMINATED IN THE WORLD’S TOP 10 COUNTRIES WITH THE HIGHEST SHARE OF SENIOR FEMALE MANAGERS/ DEMONSTRATING THE CAPACITY OF FEMALE ENTREPRENEURS AND GENDER EQUALITY IN BUSINESS ESTABLISHMENTS//

<<ROLL VO >>

ACCORDING TO GRANT THORNTON/ A LEADING ADVISORY FIRM/ INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS REPORTS SHOW THAT FROM 2021 TO 2023/ VIETNAMESE WOMEN HOLD 30 - 40% OF SENIOR MANAGEMENT POSITIONS/ MUCH HIGHER THAN THE AVERAGE LEVEL WORLDWIDE AND IN THE ASIA-PACIFIC//

VIETNAMESE WOMEN OWN 20-24% OF THE 900/000 ENTERPRISES IN THE COUNTRY//

<<ROLL VO >>

IN VIETNAM/ IT IS MUCH HARDER FOR WOMEN  THAN MEN TO START THEIR OWN // REGARDING SMALL- AND MEDIUM-SIZED ENTERPRISES/ THE FIGURE FOR THE WOMEN-LED COMPANIES WHICH ARE ABLE TO GET LOANS IS JUST 37% WHILE THE FIGURE FOR MEN-OWNED FIRMS IS 47%//

CASES FROM FEMALE BUSINESS LEADERS/ WORKERS/ AND EVEN STUDENTS PROVE THIS ODD//

1:16 - 1:47In southeast Asian, when men meet women, they might think/ this is a woman, could she work, but European and north American men are likely to be impressed by how young women are when they get the job.

Ở Đông Nam Á, khi đàn ông gặp phụ nữ, người ta sẽ nghĩ rằng, à mình đang gặp một người phụ nữ, cô ấy có làm được việc không, nhưng đàn ông ở Châu Âu hay ở Bắc Mỹ  lại thường bất ngờ, ấn tượng sao bạn này trẻ quá mà bạn ấy đã làm những công việc này rồi.

 1:48 - 2:05

Many companies are well aware that they recognise women’s inclusion in the field/ and help them raise their voices//

Nhiều nơi cũng đã nhận thức được rằng họ cần ghi nhận sự tham gia của nữ giới trong ngành này và cần nâng cao tiếng nói của phụ nữ với cộng đồng.

<<SOT: MY VAN – Tech Student>>

2:06 - 2:26

To me it is harder for women to be in the tech section because the field is super stressful, as a female, my physical status is not as strong as male. I need more rest while my male friends can work for hours continuously.

Em thấy ngành này vẫn khó hơn so với các bạn nữ bởi vì nó quá là áp lực ví dụ như em em không thể nào mà khỏe bằng các bạn nam em sẽ cần nghỉ ngơi nhiều hơn trong khi các bạn có thể làm liên tục vài giờ.

2:27 - 2:34

But females’ advantages over males lie in our ideas and how we observe and absorb.

Nhưng các bạn nữ lại có lợi thế ở những ý tưởng hay là cách mà các bạn cảm nhận vấn đề.

ACCORDING TO STARTUP VIETNAM FOUNDATION - A NON-PROFIT ORGANISATION FOR STARTUPS/ WOMEN IN TECH ARE STILL UNDER THE STEREOTYPE: THAT WOMEN MAKE HOME//

THAT IS WHY THIS ORGANISATION AND OTHER UNIONS IN VIETNAM HAVE LAUNCHED PROGRAMS WHICH ARE SPECIFICALLY TARGETED TO FEMALE LEADERS/ INVENTORS/ AND STARTUP FOUNDERS// 

MANY WOMEN-LED COMPANIES GOT FUNDRAISERS/ AND BUSINESS CONSULTANTS/ BEFORE HEADING TO NATIONAL BRAND ENTERPRISES//

<<ROLL VO >>

BESIDES THESE ACTIVITIES/ A LOT OF PROGRAMS AND LEGAL REGULATIONS HAVE BEEN OPERATED TO HELP WOMEN TO SCORE SUCCESS WITH THEIR OWN BUSINESSES// HOWEVER/ MORE EFFORT FOR WOMEN RISING IN ENTREPRENEURSHIP IS EXPECTED TO BE COOPERATED NOT ONLY BY GOVERNMENT/ ORGANISATIONS/ BUT ALSO THE WHOLE SOCIETY//
